Gao Tang returned to Pingliangju, he did not live in Gyeongju, the reason is that if the Tatar slaves want to recapture Gyeongju, they must first recapture Pingliangju and then go south. Gyeongju is surrounded by high mountains and rivers on both sides, making it difficult to march. Pingliang Prefecture is the only passage. Therefore, Gao Tang put the focus of defense on Pingliang Prefecture.

Of the 180,000 troops, only 50,000 were left in Gyeongju, and the remaining 130,000 were all in Pyongyangju.

On this day, he discussed with Chen Cheng in the state yamen how to resist the attack of the Tatar army.

"Brother Chen, guess from which direction the Tarnu army will attack us." Gao Tang asked.

Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, this matter is not a guess! ”

Gao Tang smiled and said, "Brother Chen, I naturally know this, but before making a final decision, it doesn't hurt for us to guess first." You two talk about it too. Finally, he said another word to Li Jun and Wang Ren.

Li Jun and Wang Ren both nodded.

Chen Cheng pondered for a long time, Li Jun and Wang Ren were the same.

Gao Tang smiled and said, "Let's think like this, if you are asked to attack here, what kind of strategy will you use." You can't just fight indiscriminately! ”

"That's nature." Chen Cheng said.

Then Li Jun said: "General Gao, if it were me, I would concentrate my forces to find the weakest place to launch a fierce attack. As long as you open a gap, you can directly occupy Pingliangzhou City. ”

After listening to Li Jun's words, Chen Cheng nodded.

At this time, Wang Ren said again: "If it were me, I would definitely choose a few more places to attack." Panic the defenders. ”

After listening to Wang Ren's words, Chen Cheng nodded again and said, "Well, what Wang Ren said also makes sense. ”

Gao Tang asked, "Brother Chen, what do you think?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "If it were me, I would attack from three different places. It is better not to be too close to each other so that the defenders cannot take care of each other. ”

"Well, Brother Chen and I thought about going together. Actually, there are many ways to attack us, and this is probably the best. Gao Tang said.

Chen Cheng nodded after hearing this, and said, "Actually, I think that the Tatar slaves are also these methods. ”

"That's why I'm letting you guess!" Gao Tang smiled mysteriously and said.

"And the result?" Chen Cheng asked.

Gao Tang said: "Just follow the strategy of the Tatar slaves to choose three places to attack. ”

Chen Cheng said: "This is okay, but the Tartars will choose those three places to attack?" ”

……

"The Great Protector General, the last general thinks that these three places are the best to attack." A young general in armor said, pointing to a map.

This is the big tent of the Chinese army thousands of miles away from Tiandu City.

Standing next to this young general is the protector general Spur. On the other side, there were also several people dressed as generals, and it seemed that they were studying the direction of operations in the military headquarters.

"Then tell me why these three places?" The protector general Spur asked.

The general said, "General, the last general thinks that our army will attack in three directions, so we must choose a triangular direction of attack. Choose two corners to the north of Pingliang Prefecture, and these two corners should be closer to each other. And the third corner is to the southeast of Pingliangzhou. It's a little farther away from the two points to the north.

When attacking, the two points on the north side are to attack first, and they are to be stormed. In this way, the Han army's army in the south of Pingliang Prefecture will be transferred to the north to help, and at this time, the northern guard will be weakened. Our army in the southeast took advantage of the situation and then marched north to take Pingliang Prefecture in one fell swoop. Therefore, the last general chose Baishan, Pingdu, and Heihuling, these three places. ”

Spur nodded when he heard this, smiled slightly, and said, "That's good, I'm very satisfied with the three places you chose." Baishan and Pingdu are in the north, and Heihuling is in the southeast. We ambushed our heavy troops at Black Tiger Ridge. When the Han army galloped to the north of Baishan and Pingdu, the army located in Heihuling broke the garrison of the Han army and attacked directly to the north, giving the Han army a front and rear attack. ”

At this time, another general said: "General, we also have to guard against the Han army in Gyeongju going north!" ”

Spur smiled and said, "We can leave a small part of the army to block the Han army going north in Gyeongju, won't this be over?" Ha ha. ”

"What a clever plan the Great General has." The dissenting general said.

"Okay, now that we've got an attack plan, let's start implementing it. You are all capable generals who have been generalized, and you must fight for this general, and when the time comes, you will be indispensable. ”

"Thank you, General." Several generals replied in unison.

Spur asked again, "How's the army mobilized?" ”

One of the generals replied, "Go back to the general, and the assembly will be completed in three days." ”

"Okay, when the assembly is over, General Ben will personally give a lecture. Boost the morale of the soldiers. Spurs said.

The young general said: "General, in fact, this operation is personally commanded by you, and the soldiers are already very encouraged. ”

"Then the general will encourage them again." Spur said with a smile. He was very relaxed, because he had 300,000 horses, while the Han army had less than 180,000. Just looking at the number of people is a layer of victory. And there is such a good battle plan. Naturally, he relaxed.

"Yes, General." Everyone agreed.

Spur said, "Okay, you go back to your respective camps first, and wait for the order of the general." ”

"It's the Great General."

After the generals finished speaking, they went out of the big tent. The fatigue of the journey made the Spurs feel a little tired. And he fell asleep on the bed.

……

In the yamen of Pingliangzhou City, Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, this is not easy to say!" ”

Gao Tang smiled and said, "Then you guys go ahead and guess!" ”

The three of them began to meditate again.

After a while, Wang Ren said: "I guess the Tatar army will divide the army into three routes, attacking from the east, west and north, so that we can't take care of the three places. If it were me, I would probably do it! ”

Gao Tang nodded after hearing this, asked Li Jun again, and said, "Li Jun, what about you, if it were you, how would you attack, and what three ways would you divide?" ”

Li Jun arched his hand and said: "Back to General Gao, the last general will also attack in the same way as General Wang Ren." Attack in three directions. ”

Gao Tang nodded again. He asked Chen Cheng again, "Brother Chen, what is your opinion?" ”

"General Gao, I thought that the Tatars would not be so simple, they would definitely work hard in these three places to attack." Chen Cheng said.

"And what will they do?" Gao Tang asked.

"I really can't think of this for a while." Chen Cheng smiled and said.

Gao Tang nodded and said: "Since you can't think of it, let's talk about it tomorrow, anyway, Pingliang Prefecture is not big, and we will deploy it very quickly." ”
